Remove cassette of a freehub
 

Hi folks,

So I started converting my rearwheel to a fixed gear earlier today, however it turned out my wheel is a freehub and not a freewheel.
I took out pretty much everything that i could get to and now i am left with my wheel without it's pivot, having only the cassette attached to it. I have been searching thru the internet and can't find much info on this. Does anyone know how i could get to remove that cassette?
From there i would follow this http://www.fixedgeargallery.com/arti...anula/freehub/ to fix it, as i'd like to have nothing to pay except the cog.

Thank you for the help
Niko

How about Google remove cassette to remove the cogs, and remove freehub body so that you can follow the cited procedure? However, I'm not recommending you do so, just letting you know how to get the parts off.

If its an old early freehub, you remove it with a pair of chainwhips with them on the 2 smallest cogs and twist apart. if its a later freehub, you remove with a chainwhip tool and the proper freehub tool.

It would be easier to just buy a proper fixed gear or flip-flop wheel to begin with if you aren't well versed in freehub mechanics. They aren't expensive.

I'm kind of confused by the instructions. When they drill the holes and put the cap screws in them, how are they preventing the freehub from spinning? Is it going to be a permanent fix that is as good as a real fixed gear hub?

Very strange - the 3rd pic shows the drilling, next one tapping, but it does not show putting in the cap screws. I don't know if it's just dependent on friction against the inner part of the body or (hopefully) he drilled a bit further. Either way I would not depend on it.
